Relentless Clarity For Every Hunter

Relentless isn’t an adjective we use lightly. Relentless means you’re insanely dedicated. You have a grit that sets you apart. You have a drive that pushes you farther than most; one more draw, one more ridge, one more mile.

At Leupold, we know that diehard hunters and outdoorsmen who display these traits demand the same dedication from their gear, optics included. We’ve long answered that call, and for 2018, we’ve upped our game with the new BX-5 Santiam HD 8x42 and 10x42 (10x50 and 12x50 coming soon).

When it comes to filling your freezer, good glass can make all the difference. We all know big cagey bulls or giant bighorn sheep won’t find themselves. You usually have to spend countless hours behind the glass before getting an opportunity to start a stalk. And you can bet that binoculars will play a large role in the process. You need a pair that delivers the kind of elite clarity that’s both easy on the eyes and capable of helping you differentiate antler tines from the surrounding brush in low-light conditions. This type of optical clarity isn’t easy to come by. Fortunately, the BX-5 Santiam HD models deliver.

So what sets these binoculars apart? At the heart of their game-changing optical clarity is Leupold’s Twilight Max HD Light Management System. Twilight Max HD – the same system found in our award-winning VX-5HD and VX-6HD riflescopes – helps you see more in less light, which means you’ll be able to take advantage of the first and last 15 minutes of shooting light like never before. We use twice as many lens coatings as most manufacturers and focus heavily on delivering true colors and excellent light transmission. So what does that mean for you? How about crisp, clear images that don’t get fuzzy around the edges. Plus, true high definition, which makes spotting that giant muley hunkered down in the shadows a little bit easier.

The BX-5 Santiam HD not only looks good, but it feels good in your hands, too. Its lightweight housing is shrouded in a rubber armor coating that helps protect the binocular. The open-bridge design reduces weight and provides a natural grip. A large focus dial is easy to use and find, even with gloved hands, while a diopter focus paddle allows you to precisely focus each eye. These improvements make all-day glassing a lot more comfortable.

The BX-5 Santiam HD is as rugged and relentless as you are. Of course, should you ever run into any trouble, you can rest easy knowing that all of our binoculars are backed by Leupold’s legendary Full Lifetime Guarantee. If they don’t perform as promised, we’ll repair or replace them for free, whether you’re the original owner or not. So do your worst – this is a binocular that’s built to take a beating and keep performing at the elite levels. Be bold. Be tenacious. Be Relentless.
